Chapitre 24: Chapter 24: Itachi Realizes: I Want to Be Clan Leader! (Part 1)
"Think about it!"
"Think carefully!"
In the Kurenai residence, Itsuki sat on a chair, slapping the table with his hand, his expression excited, and shouted, "Tell me, Itachi, am I right?"
Itachi remained silent.
Kurenai Yuhi, who was sitting beside them, looked at Itsuki with a blank expression.
He was blind, yet he was still so energetic. It was truly remarkable!
Were he and Shisui really brothers?
"If you become Hokage, would there still be a conflict between the village and the Uchiha?"
Itsuki waved his hand, filled with heroic spirit, and said, "Don't be silent, speak up, tell me if I'm right or not!"
"The Uchiha have many flaws, such as arrogance and looking down on others... Can't they change?"
"If you say the Uchiha are born evil, I can only bring Shisui, no, your father, your father here."
Itachi: "..."
"If you become Hokage, I believe not only Clan Leader Fugaku but also Elder Zonyi will help you. You don't have to worry about that old man Setsuna, I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he behaves. You should believe that I have that ability, right?"
Itachi nodded subconsciously.
He now knew that Itsuki also had Jonin subordinates under his command. With his own strength, it wouldn't be difficult to keep an eye on Setsuna.
Uchiha Setsuna had a dark and rebellious personality and often did extreme things.
For example, during the Second Hokage's era, he rebelled.
He was dealt with by the Second Hokage.
He became obedient!
Then, shortly after the Third Hokage took office, when Konoha was unstable, he caused trouble again.
He was beaten again!
Both Hokages chose to spare him.
The Uchiha also needed someone like him, otherwise, it wouldn't be good for the Uchiha to be too peaceful.
If there was an opportunity, the Hokages could completely use Setsuna as an excuse to eradicate the Uchiha.
But...
Itachi looked at Itsuki strangely.
If Itsuki were to deal with Setsuna, he believed Setsuna would also become obedient.
Itsuki had that kind of ability.
Charisma overflowing!
The scene was beautiful!
"By the way, there's also Shisui! Almost forgot about that guy!" Itsuki slammed the table and said, "Tell me, will he help you?"
"Yes!"
Itachi didn't hesitate at all.
Compared to Itsuki, he trusted Shisui more.
"Look!" Itsuki counted on his fingers, "The four most powerful people in the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Setsuna, and me, Uchiha Itsuki, four of us are on your side."
Itachi had a strange expression.
Wow, you've become one of the most powerful people in the Uchiha?
But it was hard to refute.
"Among the new generation, the three geniuses, besides you, are Shisui and me. We both are willing to support you."
"Itachi, what are you still hesitating for?"
Itsuki excitedly grabbed Itachi's hand and shook it vigorously.
"The relationship between the village and the Uchiha, which makes you want to die, can actually be easily solved."
"As long as you become Hokage!"
"It's that simple!"
Itsuki slammed the table again.
As if to urge Itachi to make up his mind.
Itachi sat silently.
I'm dizzy!
Let me think!
Me becoming Hokage... Bah, how did I become Hokage?
If!
If I became Hokage, I could change the Uchiha and make them fully integrate into the village.
This wouldn't be difficult.
Just like Itsuki said, the Uchiha elders would support me, and the new generation would also support me.
As for the village...
Itachi whispered, "Brother Itsuki, becoming Hokage is not that easy."
To become Hokage, it wasn't enough for the Uchiha and the Hokage to agree.
There were so many clans in the village, how many of them would want an Uchiha to be Hokage?
"First!"
Itsuki slammed the table again and shouted, "The clan will definitely support you, right?"
"Yes!"
The Uchiha were almost crazy about wanting a Hokage.
In their view, the village owed them a Hokage, so they wanted an armed coup to take back everything that belonged to them.
After the coup succeeded, who would be Hokage?
Fugaku!
If it were replaced by Itachi, it might not be unacceptable.
Being able to take the Hokage position without bloodshed would be a win-win situation.
Many Uchiha didn't care who the Hokage was, they just wanted the Hokage to be an Uchiha!
"Second!"
Itsuki said, "The Third Hokage will definitely support you, right?"
"This..."
Itachi hesitated.
He wasn't a fool.
Unlike the original story, after Itsuki's repeated meddling, Itachi didn't trust the Third Hokage and the others as much.
At the very least, Itsuki had opened a crack in Itachi's trust in them.
For a smart person, a tiny crack was enough for him to think of many things he had previously overlooked.
"What are you hesitating for?"
Itsuki couldn't help but shout, "The Third Hokage said that you have the Hokage's mindset. Don't you know what that means?"
"What does it mean?"
Itachi asked subconsciously.
"It means the Hokage is already preparing to groom you as the next Hokage."
Itachi's expression became dull.
The corner of Kurenai's mouth twitched continuously.
Itsuki, on the other hand, had a look of disappointment on his face, "Tell me, besides saying this to you, has the Third Hokage said it to anyone else?"
"No!"
"Has the Third Hokage cultivated a successor all these years?"
"No!"
"Why hasn't he cultivated one? The Third Hokage has long been an elder, over sixty years old, and past the golden age of a ninja. He has had decades of surplus time, so why is he still clinging to the Hokage position?"
"... Why?"
"To train you!"
Itsuki grabbed Itachi's shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously, "Because you, little brat, are too young, he can only continue to be Hokage with that old face of his. When you grow up, it will be time for him to step down."
"This, this, this..."
Itachi was stunned, "Wait, wait for me?"
"What else?" Itsuki retorted, "If not for you, is he waiting for his grandson?"
Itachi: "..."
Something felt wrong with that statement.
Kurenai coughed dryly from the side, "If you're bluffing, just bluff, ahem, if you're talking, just talk, don't resort to personal attacks."
"Do you think I'm wrong?"
Itsuki said loudly, "Besides this, tell me why the Third Hokage, who is over sixty years old, hasn't trained a successor? Tell me!"
"What if he kicks the bucket one day, what will Konoha do?"
"Don't say it's impossible, a ninja over sixty years old could be gone at any moment."
Both Itachi and Kurenai fell silent.
Itsuki said coldly, "Don't tell me you don't trust the Hokage, do you think the Hokage is just greedy for power?"
Kurenai looked at Itsuki speechlessly: Damn you!
You really haven't wasted that mouth of yours!
Itachi also looked speechless.
What could he say?
Although he vaguely suspected... cough!
He definitely couldn't suspect!
That was the Hokage he respected!
"Let me tell you!" Itsuki pointed at the two of them and said, "The best way to solve the problem between the village and the Uchiha is to train an Uchiha Hokage who possesses the Will of Fire!"
"This is also the Hokage's choice, and Itachi is the product of this choice!"
"Otherwise!"
Itsuki's tone turned cold, "The Hokage is deliberately making things difficult for Itachi, deliberately targeting the Uchiha. Besides this, tell me, is there another answer?"
Itachi and Kurenai were silent.
After a long time, Itachi suddenly spoke, "I think what Brother Itsuki said makes a lot of sense!"
"Itachi!"
A stern shout rang out.
Shisui appeared.
He also had bandages on his face, but his expression was extremely serious.
He stared coldly at Itachi and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
You didn't actually believe Itsuki's nonsense, did you?
